The Nikon D2x is my primary camera and has almost completely replaced my work with film. With its pixel capability approaching 13 megapixel and very good focus, speed, and white balance abilities I can easily improve upon my film work. Film has its place, and has not been retired from my camera bag quite yet.

I will fly, drive, walk, or hike almost anywhere to spend time studying the most appealing elements of almost any subject, studying it, and figuring out the best angle and location for the perfect perspective. Then, I will come back over and over at any time of the day or night and in any weather until I find the lighting and the conditions that make the photograph perfect.
